Mattheum 26
1 Et factum est: cum consummasset Jesus sermones hos omnes, dixit discipulis suis:
When Jesus had finished saying all these things, he said to his disciples,
2 Scitis quia post biduum Pascha fiet, et Filius hominis tradetur ut crucifigatur.
“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.”
3 Tunc congregati sunt principes sacerdotum, et seniores populi, in atrium principis sacerdotum, qui dicebatur Caiphas:
Then the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders of the people were gathered together in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,
4 et consilium fecerunt ut Jesum dolo tenerent, et occiderent.
and they plotted together to arrest Jesus secretly and kill him.
5 Dicebant autem: Non in die festo, ne forte tumultus fieret in populo.
But they said, “Not during the feast, lest there be a riot among the people.”
6 Cum autem Jesus esset in Bethania in domo Simonis leprosi,
Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7 accessit ad eum mulier habens alabastrum unguenti pretiosi, et effudit super caput ipsius recumbentis.
a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at the table.
8 Videntes autem discipuli, indignati sunt, dicentes: Ut quid perditio hæc?
When his disciples saw it, they were indignant and said, “Why this waste?
9 potuit enim istud venundari multo, et dari pauperibus.
This ointment could have been sold for a large sum, and the money could have been given to the poor.”
10 Sciens autem Jesus, ait illis: Quid molesti estis huic mulieri? opus enim bonum operata est in me.
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you causing trouble for this woman? She has done a good deed to me.
11 Nam semper pauperes habetis vobiscum: me autem non semper habetis.
You always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
12 Mittens enim hæc unguentum hoc in corpus meum, ad sepeliendum me fecit.
She has put this ointment on my body to prepare me for burial.
13 Amen dico vobis, ubicumque prædicatum fuerit hoc Evangelium in toto mundo, dicetur et quod hæc fecit in memoriam ejus.
Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial to her.”
14 Tunc abiit unus de duodecim, qui dicebatur Judas Iscariotes, ad principes sacerdotum:
Then one of the twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15 et ait illis: Quid vultis mihi dare, et ego vobis eum tradam? At illi constituerunt ei triginta argenteos.
and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him up to you?” So they set out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16 Et exinde quærebat opportunitatem ut eum traderet.
And from then on he was looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
17 Prima autem die azymorum accesserunt discipuli ad Jesum, dicentes: Ubi vis paremus tibi comedere Pascha?
On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and said to him, “Where do yoʋ want us to make preparations for yoʋ to eat the Passover?”
18 At Jesus dixit: Ite in civitatem ad quemdam, et dicite ei: Magister dicit: Tempus meum prope est, apud te facio Pascha cum discipulis meis.
He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near. I am going to keep the Passover with yoʋ, along with my disciples.”’”
19 Et fecerunt discipuli sicut constituit illis Jesus, et paraverunt Pascha.
So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 Vespere autem facto, discumbebat cum duodecim discipulis suis.
When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve.
21 Et edentibus illis, dixit: Amen dico vobis, quia unus vestrum me traditurus est.
As they were eating, he said, “Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me.”
22 Et contristati valde, cœperunt singuli dicere: Numquid ego sum Domine?
Greatly distressed, they began to say to him one after another, “Surely not I, Lord?”
23 At ipse respondens, ait: Qui intingit mecum manum in paropside, hic me tradet.
Jesus answered, “The one who has dipped his hand with me into the dish will betray me.
24 Filius quidem hominis vadit, sicut scriptum est de illo: væ autem homini illi, per quem Filius hominis tradetur! bonum erat ei, si natus non fuisset homo ille.
The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
25 Respondens autem Judas, qui tradidit eum, dixit: Numquid ego sum Rabbi? Ait illi: Tu dixisti.
Then Judas, who betrayed him, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself.”
26 Cœnantibus autem eis, accepit Jesus panem, et benedixit, ac fregit, deditque discipulis suis, et ait: Accipite, et comedite: hoc est corpus meum.
As they were eating, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take and eat this bread; this is my body.”
27 Et accipiens calicem, gratias egit: et dedit illis, dicens: Bibite ex hoc omnes.
Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you,
28 Hic est enim sanguis meus novi testamenti, qui pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.
for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
29 Dico autem vobis: non bibam amodo de hoc genimine vitis usque in diem illum, cum illud bibam vobiscum novum in regno Patris mei.
But I tell you, from this point forward I will certainly not drink again from this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it with you anew in the kingdom of my Father.”
30 Et hymno dicto, exierunt in montem Oliveti.
And after singing a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
31 Tunc dicit illis Jesus: Omnes vos scandalum patiemini in me in ista nocte. Scriptum est enim: Percutiam pastorem, et dispergentur oves gregis.
Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will fall away because of me this night. For it is written, ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
32 Postquam autem resurrexero, præcedam vos in Galilæam.
But after I have been raised up, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
33 Respondens autem Petrus, ait illi: Et si omnes scandalizati fuerint in te, ego numquam scandalizabor.
Peter answered him, “Even if everyone else falls away because of yoʋ, I will never fall away.”
34 Ait illi Jesus: Amen dico tibi, quia in hac nocte, antequam gallus cantet, ter me negabis.
Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to yoʋ that on this night, before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.”
35 Ait illi Petrus: Etiamsi oportuerit me mori tecum, non te negabo. Similiter et omnes discipuli dixerunt.
But Peter said to him, “Even if I must die with yoʋ, I will certainly not deny yoʋ.” And all the disciples said the same thing.
36 Tunc venit Jesus cum illis in villam, quæ dicitur Gethsemani, et dixit discipulis suis: Sedete hic donec vadam illuc, et orem.
Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 Et assumpto Petro, et duobus filiis Zebedæi, cœpit contristari et mœstus esse.
And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and distressed.
38 Tunc ait illis: Tristis est anima mea usque ad mortem: sustinete hic, et vigilate mecum.
Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to the point of death; stay here and keep watch with me.”
39 Et progressus pusillum, procidit in faciem suam, orans, et dicens: Pater mi, si possibile est, transeat a me calix iste: verumtamen non sicut ego volo, sed sicut tu.
And going a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, “My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as yoʋ will.”
40 Et venit ad discipulos suos, et invenit eos dormientes, et dicit Petro: Sic non potuistis una hora vigilare mecum?
Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “So you could not keep watch with me for one hour?
41 Vigilate, et orate ut non intretis in tentationem. Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma.
Keep watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Iterum secundo abiit, et oravit, dicens: Pater mi, si non potest hic calix transire nisi bibam illum, fiat voluntas tua.
Again, he went away for a second time and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass from me unless I drink it, may yoʋr will be done.”
43 Et venit iterum, et invenit eos dormientes: erant enim oculi eorum gravati.
Then he came and found them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy.
44 Et relictis illis, iterum abiit, et oravit tertio, eumdem sermonem dicens.
So he left them and went away again and prayed for a third time, saying the same thing.
45 Tunc venit ad discipulos suos, et dicit illis: Dormite jam, et requiescite: ecce appropinquavit hora, et Filius hominis tradetur in manus peccatorum.
Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Sleep on now and take your rest! Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
46 Surgite, eamus: ecce appropinquavit qui me tradet.
Rise, let us go. Behold, my betrayer has drawn near.”
47 Adhuc eo loquente, ecce Judas unus de duodecim venit, et cum eo turba multa cum gladiis et fustibus, missi a principibus sacerdotum, et senioribus populi.
While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came. With him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 Qui autem tradidit eum, dedit illis signum, dicens: Quemcumque osculatus fuero, ipse est, tenete eum.
Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, he is the one; arrest him.”
49 Et confestim accedens ad Jesum, dixit: Ave Rabbi. Et osculatus est eum.
Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” And he kissed him.
50 Dixitque illi Jesus: Amice, ad quid venisti? Tunc accesserunt, et manus injecerunt in Jesum, et tenuerunt eum.
Jesus said to him, “Friend, why have yoʋ come?” Then they came forward, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.
51 Et ecce unus ex his qui erant cum Jesu, extendens manum, exemit gladium suum, et percutiens servum principis sacerdotum amputavit auriculam ejus.
And behold, one of the men with Jesus stretched out his hand, drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 Tunc ait illi Jesus: Converte gladium tuum in locum suum: omnes enim, qui acceperint gladium, gladio peribunt.
Then Jesus said to him, “Put yoʋr sword back in its place, for all who take the sword will die by the sword.
53 An putas, quia non possum rogare patrem meum, et exhibebit mihi modo plusquam duodecim legiones angelorum?
Or do yoʋ think that I cannot call on my Father right now, and he will provide me with more than twelve legions of angels?
54 Quomodo ergo implebuntur Scripturæ, quia sic oportet fieri?
How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55 In illa hora dixit Jesus turbis: Tamquam ad latronem existis cum gladiis et fustibus comprehendere me: quotidie apud vos sedebam docens in templo, et non me tenuistis.
In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out to arrest me with swords and clubs as you would against a robber? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me.
56 Hoc autem totum factum est, ut adimplerentur Scripturæ prophetarum. Tunc discipuli omnes, relicto eo, fugerunt.
But all this has taken place so that the Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
57 At illi tenentes Jesum, duxerunt ad Caipham principem sacerdotum, ubi scribæ et seniores convenerant.
Now those who had arrested Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58 Petrus autem sequebatur eum a longe, usque in atrium principis sacerdotum. Et ingressus intro, sedebat cum ministris, ut videret finem.
But Peter was following him at a distance, coming as far as the courtyard of the high priest. After going inside, he sat with the officers to see the outcome.
59 Principes autem sacerdotum, et omne concilium, quærebant falsum testimonium contra Jesum, ut eum morti traderent:
Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus, so that they could put him to death,
60 et non invenerunt, cum multi falsi testes accessissent. Novissime autem venerunt duo falsi testes,
but they did not find any. Even though many false witnesses came forward, they did not find any.
61 et dixerunt: Hic dixit: Possum destruere templum Dei, et post triduum reædificare illud.
But at last two false witnesses came forward and declared, “This man said, ‘I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
62 Et surgens princeps sacerdotum, ait illi: Nihil respondes ad ea, quæ isti adversum te testificantur?
So the high priest stood up and said to him, “Do yoʋ make no answer? What are these men testifying against yoʋ?”
63 Jesus autem tacebat. Et princeps sacerdotum ait illi: Adjuro te per Deum vivum, ut dicas nobis si tu es Christus Filius Dei.
But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him, “I adjure yoʋ by the living God to tell us if yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God.”
64 Dicit illi Jesus: Tu dixisti. Verumtamen dico vobis, amodo videbitis Filium hominis sedentem a dextris virtutis Dei, et venientem in nubibus cæli.
Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have said it yoʋrself. Nevertheless I say to you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”
65 Tunc princeps sacerdotum scidit vestimenta sua, dicens: Blasphemavit: quid adhuc egemus testibus? ecce nunc audistis blasphemiam:
Then the high priest tore his garments and said, “He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard his blasphemy.
66 quid vobis videtur? At illi respondentes dixerunt: Reus est mortis.
What do you think?” They answered, “He deserves death.”
67 Tunc exspuerunt in faciem ejus, et colaphis eum ceciderunt, alii autem palmas in faciem ejus dederunt,
Then they spit in his face and struck him. Others slapped him,
68 dicentes: Prophetiza nobis Christe, quis est qui te percussit?
saying, “Prophesy to us, yoʋ Christ! Who is it that struck yoʋ?”
69 Petrus vero sedebat foris in atrio: et accessit ad eum una ancilla, dicens: Et tu cum Jesu Galilæo eras.
Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, “Yoʋ also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
70 At ille negavit coram omnibus, dicens: Nescio quid dicis.
But he denied it before them all, saying, “I do not know what yoʋ are talking about!”
71 Exeunte autem illo januam, vidit eum alia ancilla, et ait his qui erant ibi: Et hic erat cum Jesu Nazareno.
Then he went out to the gateway, and another servant girl saw him and said to the people there, “This man also was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
72 Et iterum negavit cum juramento: Quia non novi hominem.
But again he denied it with an oath: “I do not know the man.”
73 Et post pusillum accesserunt qui stabant, et dixerunt Petro: Vere et tu ex illis es: nam et loquela tua manifestum te facit.
After a little while, the people standing there came up and said to Peter, “Truly yoʋ also are one of them, for even yoʋr accent gives yoʋ away.”
74 Tunc cœpit detestari et jurare quia non novisset hominem. Et continuo gallus cantavit.
Then he began to invoke curses and to swear, saying, “I do not know the man.” And immediately a rooster crowed.
75 Et recordatus est Petrus verbi Jesu, quod dixerat: Priusquam gallus cantet, ter me negabis. Et egressus foras, flevit amare.
Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to him: “Before a rooster crows, yoʋ will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly.
